Not trolling I promise
Checkride NST plus General handling test took about 2 1/2 hours
CAA PPL

maybe the wording gave the wrong idea but i was trying to say that
there were no problems with general handling of the aircraft.
No way my examiner would have passed me if there were.
The disorieantation was from straight and level flight with no control
inputs from myself the aircraft would sometimes start to yaw usually
no more that about 15 degrees similar to crabbing in on final with
crosswind . this was the only way i could think of describing it.
The other factor is that my home airport is on the very near the coast
I notice this more as when flying along the coast it seems to be when
the above happens and the picture seen from the front is vey noticable
as i either yaw towards the sea or inland.
I figured that the rudder trim would be okay as when the above did not
happen the aircraft would follow the heading okay and stabalator trim
set i could fly hands free (PA28) for a short time.




He's probably telling the truth. Some of you may have noticed me mentioning
certain deficiencies in the way Brits teach flying?
I heard this same spiel from an Ex RAF Herc squadron commander many years
ago.
